East Liverpool Crisis - 24 Feb 1890
Stockdale Jackman, one of the old citizens of this city, was in attendance as 
usual at the services in the Christian church last night, and on his return 
home began taking some medicine for a case of diarrhoea. He took the right 
medicine through the night until about 6 o’clock this morning when he took 
another dose. As it happened there were two bottles, similar in size and 
appearance, standing on the mantle, one of them containing carbolic acid. By 
mistake he took the last dose out of the acid bottle, and died in a short time 
afterward.
	The deceased was well known in this city, and was a brother of the late 
Mrs. Josiah Thompson; also of Mrs. Col. W. H. Vodrey. He was seventy two years 
of age, and leaves a family of seven daughters and four sons. He has of late 
been prominently connected with the Christian Disciple church, recently formed 
in this city, and was to have been the census enumerator of this place, had he 
lived. He was a man respected by all who knew him, and leaves a great circle of 
friends that are pained and shocked at his death.
	The medicine for which the acid was taken in mistake was Jamacia 
ginger. One teaspoonful of the deadly acid had been taken when Mrs. Jackman 
came downstairs after her husband. He was in terrible pain and could only point 
to the bottle, which was the first knowledge anyone had of the fearful mistake 
that had occurred. In one hour’s time he had breathed his last.
	No date has yet been set for the funeral. They will wait until replies 
can be obtained from sons, who are in the West, who have been telegraphed for.
Isaac Lindersmith, one of the best know residents of Salineville, died at his 
home Saturday night of cancer of the stomach, after an illness of more than a 
year. Deceased was born in Dungannon in 1828, and has been a resident of this 
county from his birth. His father settled in this county in 1812, and his 
grandfather served in the Revolution and his father in the war of 1812. 
Deceased was married to Martha Whitacre, in Carroll county, in 1850, and eight 
children are living – three sons, one of whom is in Dakota, one in Montana, and 
one in the Alaska and Washington trade; and five daughters, Mrs. James C. 
Deidrick, of this city, a married daughter in Cleveland, and three who reside 
near Dungannon. The deceased has one brother living in Minnesota, and has 
relatives throughout the county. The funeral takes place from the home, in 
Salineville, at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning.
